MJLamberson Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 By using the CPI Calculator, a car that sold for $3360 in 1970 would sell for just under $19,000 today. Were it priced at $19,000 I'd consider the above comment valid. At almost 2X that price (find one for $29,930) I'd not consider 'value' one of it's highpoints. Even at dealer inflated pricing of 1970, the price is still high. I mean, a $5000 240Z in 1970 would be pricing adjusted to only $27,374 today! The car is selling for close to 5X what cost of production is...I mean, give a guy a break! Maybe not compared to the 70s, but compared to other cars of similar performance today, and what they cost. This car runs low 13s in the 1/4, 0-60 in under 5, pulls 0.99Gs... it sounds to me like it performs well compared to other cars in that price range.
